Why Weight?

Synopsis

Health/slimming challenge show, something along the lines of Go For It! or Fat Chance. The programme inherited elements (both in terms of game mechanics and set design) from its Princess Productions stablemate, Show Me the Money, but failed to generate anything like the same excitement or entertainment value. In retrospect, it can be seen as a precursor to shows like Celebrity Fit Club and The Biggest Loser UK.
